Reeption staff lack training how to welcome and treat guests. Not a single smile, hello, welcome in three days, not even an acknoednent of the guest as he passes by time and again.
Average breakfast (except a richer one on Sunday), cold service, pricy.
Mosquitos in the room, noisy staff talking throughout the day in loud voice behind the room.

As you walk in for the first time they put an I.d. ribbon around your wrist, take the payment and hand out a list of possible damages to the various keys and remote controls with specific cost of each item. These are the damages, they say, that you would be liable if... Some welcome.

In summary, not a cordial welcome or further interaction with the reception people. The only curious people are the gardeners and maids.
Yet, the garden is beautiful, the nearby beach with its palm groves most charming, the hotel pool is large and clean.

The distance to the beach is perfect (right across the street)
The staff is friendly and efficient
The beach and bar staff are always friendly and very helpful
The room is very clean, plenty of room and great views of the beach
Food is delicious

I just returned from my stay at Hotel Playa Colibri. My experience was excellent. The place is very nice with a country style. Excellent location, beach right across the street, tons of restaurants and convenience stores around. Rooms are spacious, clean, full kitchen included in the apartment, good Internet and amazing hot water. I stayed in a one bedroom with a mezzanine for the second bed. Breakfast served on the beach every day, nice pool, beach towels available. But the best part of all is the people. Everybody there is really nice, friendly and helpful. Special thanks to Aron Vasquez from the front desk who always gave the extra mile to provide us with the best customer service I have ever received. I will definitely come back to this place and I recommend you to visit Hotel Playa Colibri when visiting Las Terrenas.
